Alena Bogoslovtseva, a 1st year post graduate student and Junior Researcher at the 91视频 Department鈥檚 Analytical and Technological Research Center High Technologies and Nanostructured Materials鈥� (ATRC HTNM) Laboratory of Functional Diagnostics of Low-Dimensional Structures for Nanoelectronics, explained why she chose a career in Physics and what attracts her to a scientific view of the world.
Bogoslovtseva, has devoted the last few years to Physics and cannot imagine how it is possible not to be interested in this science? She talked about why Physics is so fascinating and how it can interest people who aspire to knowledge.
For Bogoslovtseva Physics is not just a series of formulas and laws, but a special view of the world,
Physics is good because it gives a picture of the world that makes it easier to build chains of cause-and-effect relationships and bring a deeper understanding of everything that is happening around us. This view of the world will always be useful. Physics has always seemed simpler and clearer than other sciences despite the fact that as you go deeper into the subject it seems simpler, but also more difficult because many details become known that were previously unknown. Relationships and phenomena that are not important to an uninitiated person acquire significance and affect the overall result. It鈥檚 amazing.
The post graduate student said that when she entered the first year NSU BA Program, she was not sure she would become a physicist or continue on to an MA Program. But she knew one thing for sure, studying in the Physics Department would not be a waste of time, 鈥淚 knew that the view of the world being formed at our Physics Department would be useful even if I decided someday to become a programmer or change my career trajectory in some other way鈥�.
Bogoslovtseva cannot imagine how one cannot be interested in science, especially Physics because it is multifaceted, limitless, and explains everything that happens in our world,
I don't understand people who aren't interested in science. I'm sure many of them can become interested in the field because the popularization of science plays an important role. You need to talk about science in an understandable language and that is not easy. The problem is that at the current level of scientific development, the threshold for entering the field requires a fairly high level of preparation. A physicist working in one area of science may not understand his colleague who is developing another. Of course, the laws of physics are the same, but the fields of knowledge have expanded. If a physicist is studying black holes, he will have to explain at length and in detail the features of his work to a colleague who studies hydrodynamics. This is a problem for modern science and I'm not sure there is a solution. Therefore, there is a need to popularize science. The objective is to show that science is not something boring and incomprehensible, not just 12 lines of formulas, but something important and tangible, that is directly related to our everyday life. People should know what scientists do, only then they will show an interest in science.
Currently, the young researcher, together with her colleagues, is growing aluminum nitride films for use in resonators in information transmission systems. The collection of material, conducting experiments, and the systematization of data will help Bogoslovtseva not only write her Ph.D. thesis, but also promote this specialization in semiconductor physics.
